I know it's odd for there not to be physical power buttons on these devices but we have been a lifesize customer since Lifesize existed as a company. Several of our systems have run for years without any noticeable signs of issues. I can probably count on one hand (maybe two) the number of times, we have had to RMA something. I would hazard to guess that unplugging the device from the wall is more harmful than leaving it running. There is an option to put icons into sleep mode. Lets say Lifesize makes it possible to shut the device off, how do you turn it back on without a physical power button? The only thing I would suggest is scheduling the systems to reboot daily to clear and odd issues or to set the device back to its default state if someone has left it in one of the menus.

Is there a reason why you want it to shut off? Without a physical power button on the device how does someone who doesn’t have access to the web interface turn it back on? What if an admin is not around and someone wants to use the system?

I’m not sure what the issue is with it running though. When the device is not being used, it will go into sleep mode, it will not shut off but the camera and display will go to sleep. I cant see the device running to be that major a concern. I’m not sure what you are asking for, there is no physical power button on the device. Your last post mentioned adding a tab in the web interface to shut the device off. If that is done, how would one turn it back on without a physical power button to turn it back on?
